Day12: August 18th. It was 11 o'clock last night at the second base camp of Mount Everest, and the driver contacted the accommodation on the way. It is a tent built by local Tibetans. One bed costs 100 yuan. The second partition in tent No. 52 has exactly five beds. Two ladies are in the inner room. The Guangdong guy and I sleep with our feet up, and the driver is next to me. After eating a bucket of 15 yuan high-priced instant noodles, I felt a little dizzy. The altitude here has exceeded 5,200 meters. I took out 50% glucose oral liquid and the Guangdong guy drank two each. I bought a bottle of oxygen for 58 yuan before I came here, but I thought I would use it again if I couldn't stand it anymore, so as not to develop dependence. You can live without it, but you can't, I think so.
The bed was very crowded, so I used the rope in my bag to pull a line on the steel pipe of the tent, which was convenient for hanging clothes, backpacks and so on. I tied it to the rope with the fishing night light for positioning, and played a weak lighting role at night. Take out the rechargeable flashlight and put it on the table for the two ladies to use when they go out at night.
There is only one toilet in the second base camp. There is a guy who pays full-time on the truck. He is very dedicated. The price is 1 yuan, and he waits in line. This may be the highest altitude toilet I have ever used in my life.
Due to the high altitude, I had a severe headache and didn't sleep well until two o'clock in the evening. The two Guangdong women who came from zero altitude didn't respond much, which is really strange.
When queuing up to go to the bathroom the next day, I met a white-haired man. At first I thought it was dyed, and he was trying to light a cigarette with a lighter. Slipping around, I asked a 62-year-old Hong Kong man how he was feeling, and he said that he had a severe headache and that this place was not fun.
Due to the weather and time, I didn't take the eco-car to the first base camp of Mount Everest in the morning, so I left here as soon as possible. The driver said that many unwell people rushed back overnight. Before leaving, I took two photos as souvenirs.
Every tourist who comes to the base camp of Mt. Everest can't wait to put on various poses and take photos with Mt. Everest. In their eyes, Mount Everest is their pilgrimage destination, and the result of the pilgrimage is to leave a bunch of photos of themselves and Mount Everest. Unlike professional photographers who take pictures of Mount Everest, in the photos taken by tourists, Mount Everest only appears as a background and props, and the tourists themselves are the protagonists. When tourists return to their daily lives, Mount Everest will be further "alienated" and become their communication topic and show off capital.
Tips: If a guy wants to know what's wrong with him and what's wrong with him, travel, and a girl wants to know if she's lovable or annoying.
Originally, we planned to go to Mount Everest in four days and three nights. Due to the joining of two Guangdong girls, it became three days and two nights. Cancellation, the most irritating thing is that the fare for me and the Guangdong guy is 1200, and the two of them are 800. If you have more money, you have to arrange to go according to the less money, but it’s useless to quarrel. They booked to go to Guangdong the next day. train ticket.
I felt dizzy on the way back. I arrived at Tingri County at about 11 o'clock. I said hurry up and eat. I ordered a few dishes at a Northeast dumpling restaurant, and it was slightly better after eating.
Since it is returning the same way, I don't want to describe the scenery again. The dinner was eaten in Gyantse County, the driver planned to go to Lhasa to eat, I asked what time it was, he said 12 o'clock in the evening, I told you to stop. When you go out, like Tibet, where you don’t go to villages or shops, eat as soon as you can, and don’t put your health at risk.
When I came back at night, the night view was beautiful, so I took a few photos for everyone to watch.
On the way back to Yanghu Lake, after 10 o’clock in the evening, I met a few cyclists who came all the way from Chengdu, missed the accommodation, borrowed their outfits, took a photo, and pretended to be better. Seeing these people, I was very emotional. Who said that the post-80s and post-90s are not good? Many cyclists are still girls. Seeing them, I feel how hopeful China's future is and how vibrant our nation is.
It was almost 1 o'clock at night when I returned to Lhasa, and I stayed at the Gyatso Youth Hostel where the driver was the boss. It was a four-person room with a bathroom, and the bed cost was 58 yuan.
